Virtue Ethics

Показать описание
A few clips of various philosophers discussing Aristotle's ethics and virtue ethics in general and how, unlike both utilitarianism and Kantianism, it involves no formula or criterion for right action. The speakers featured include Julia Annas, Nicholas Smith, Martha Nussbaum, Bernard Williams, and Stephen Toulmin. These clips both come from a program on Virtue Ethics from the 1990s series The Examined Life.

How about the activity of listening before plying an instrument? How are protigee child musicians explained?

It sounds nice, though I’m not sure how you can ever be sure what the “golden mean” is. Two people might interpret the virtue of courage in radically different ways.

It sort of strikes me as relativism under disguise.

I'm still a Rule Utilitarian. I respect Virtue Ethics more than Deontology, Divine Command Theory, but Rule Utilitarianism just seems to be the most logical to me.

The ethics of Jesus are the most effective.
